\b0 \cf0 The application is not signed, so the first time you run it you will need to change your security options, or hold down the option key when double-clicking on the icon, or control-click or right-button to get the contextual menu to open it. For later versions, after trying to run it once, you may need to go to the security options of the control panel and give explicit permission for this application to be run.\

\b0 \cf0 DeDRM is an application that packs all of the python dm removal software into one easy to use program that remembers preferences and settings.\
It works without manual configuration with Kindle for Mac ebooks, Adobe Digital Editions Adept ePub and PDF ebooks, and Barnes & Noble NOOK Study ebooks.\
\
To remove the DRM of Kindle ebooks from eInk Kindles, other Barnes & Noble ePubs, eReader pdb ebooks, or Mobipocket ebooks, you must first run DeDRM application (by double-clicking it) and set some additional Preferences, depending on the origin of your ebook files:\
\

\b eInk Kindle (not Kindle Fire)
\b0 :
\b \
	
\b0 16 digit Serial Number, found in your Amazon account web pages.\

\b Barnes & Noble (not from NOOK Study)
\b0 : \
	Your account email and password, so the key can be retrieved from the Barnes & Noble servers.\
	An active internet connection is required for this.\

\b eReader
\b0 :\
	Name and last 8 digits of CC number\

\b Mobipocket
\b0 :\
	10 digit PID\
\
A final preference is the destination folder for the DRM-free copies of your ebooks that the application produces. This can be either the same folder as the original ebook, or a folder of your choice.\
\
Once these preferences have been set, you can drag and drop ebooks (or folders of ebooks) onto the DeDRM droplet to remove the DRM.\
\
This program uses notifications, so really needs Mac OS X 10.8 or above.\
